the sash. Another object is to provide a simple construction for holdingthe stool'in place. A further object is to provide a simple constructionfor holding the sash in placefrelative to the wall sill. With these aswell as other objects in view, the invention resides in the novelfeatures of construction and comv binations and arrangements of parts asmore fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a vertical section through the sill portion.of a window construction,em bodying my invention;

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof;

Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, showing a modification;

Figure 4 is a cross section on the line`4-4 of Figure 3;

Figure 5 is a perspe of Figure 3;

Figures 6 and 7 are views similar to Figure 3, showing modication.

The invention is particularly applicable to all metal windowconstructions and as shown the wall has at the lower end of its windowopening 1 the stone and brick or tile sill portions 2 and 3,respectively. The window sash, which is preferably of metal, is set intotive view of a portion the' window opening and has the lower bar 4,

which is provided with the downwardly opening channel 5. 6 is one of apair of anchoring clips, preferably formed of sheet metal, for the sashhaving at one end the upwardly extending iiange .portion 7 engaging inthe downwardly opening channel and secured to the lowerbar byI means ofthe screw 8 and at the other end the depending. tongue 9, which extendsbetween the stone and brick or tile sill portions 2 and3, respectively,andis securely anchored therebetween.

10 is the window stool which forms part of the frame work, this stoolbeing preferably formed of sheet metal and extending within the windowopening and beneath the inner portion of the lower sash bar 4. Thisstool has at its inner `edge the de ending portion 11, which terminatesin the d) outwardl inclined portion 12 at the inner side of t e brick or.tile sill portion of the walL To take care of variations in thethickness of the wall and more particularly of the brick or tile sillportion suiiicient clearance is provided between the outer e e of thestool and the upwardly extending igange portion 7 of the anchoring clipto permit the stool be- A ing moved relative to the lower sash bar.

13 is a finishing strip referably formed 'of metal. This strip is aapted to extend beneath the'lower sash bar 4 and is adjustably securedto 'the stool 10 as bymeans of the rivets 14, which extend through theslots 15 extendin transversely of the stool, the purpose of t eadjustment being to provide for the adjustment of the stool relative tothe lower sash bar.

For holding the stool in place, I have provided the anchoring clipsv 16,which are spaced longitudinall of the stool and are adapted to be secureto the inner side of the brick or tile sill portion 3. Each of theseclips has an upper portion 17 which is upwardly and inwardly inclinedatan angle corresponding to the portion 12 of the stool and which isadapted to be secured thereto as by means of the rivet 18. A

In assembling, the window .sash may be secured in the window opening,after which the stool with the finishing strip and its anchoring clipsmay be secured in place, vthis stool being inserted into the windowopening and its outer edge being passed beneath the lower sash bar. Thenthe plaster may be placed upon the sides of the window opening and uponthe inner side of the wall.

In the modification shown in Figures 3,4 and 5, provision is made forplacing the heating radiator beneath the stool, this .radiator 19 beinglocated within a recessl inthe portion of the wall, part of the brick ortile sill portion beingremoved. In this modication the anchoring clipsfor the lower sash bar 20 'are each formed with an upwardly lextendingflange portion 21 arranged within the downwardl opening channel of thelower sash bar. urthermore, each clip is'proownwardly and- IIICIIIGAN,AssIGNon Iro nFJrnLoIr STEEL Inonvided with the lognitudinally spaceddepend-I ing tongues 22 and 23 which together are adapted to embrace apart ofthe stone sill member 24, the tongue 22 being at the outer .edgeand the tongue 23 being at the'inner edge and adjacent to the brick ortile sill portion 25. Each of these anchoring clips is further providedwith the lateral tongue 26 which extends over the brick or tile sillportion and is adjustably secured to the support 27 for engaging theradiator hangers 28. The arrangement of the window stool 29 and thefinishing strip 30 is very similar to that of t-he window stool 10 andthe finishing stri 13, the stool anchoring clips 31 being locate beyondthe ends of the recess in the Wall for receiving the radiator. Thisstool, however, is provided with the grill portion 32 above the radiatorto provide for heat radiation.

ln the modification shown in Figure 6, the arrangement of parts is verysimilar to that shown in Figures l and 2, with the exception that thewall sill and more particularl the brick or tile sill portion is formedwit the air duct 33 and thestool 34 is formed with the grill portion 35above the air duct providing for the escape of air from this duct.

The modification shown in Figure -7 is very similar to that shown inFigure 6, the grill portion 36 being formed of a separate sheet metalplate, which is secured to the stool.

What ll claim as my invention is:

1. The combination with a wall having a window opening and a `windowsash in the opening, of a stool separate from said sash and extendinginto the opening beneath the sash, and an anchoring clip secured to thewall at the inner side thereof and having a portion for holding thestool from upward movement at its inner edge.

2. The combination with a wall having a Window opening, of a stoolextending into the opening, and an anchoring clip secured to the wall atthe inner side thereof and having a portion for holding the stool fromupward movement at its inner edge.

3. The combination with a wall having a window opening and a window sashin the opening, of a stool extending within the opening and beneath thesash, and a finish strip between the sash and stool and extendingbeneath the sash.

4. The combination with a wall having a window opening and a sill memberat the lower end of the opening and a Window sash in the opening havinga lower bar with a downwardly opening channel, of means for holding thesash in place, including a clip having a portion engaging within thedownwardly opening channel and longitudinally spaced depending anchoringportions embracing a portion of the sill.

5. The combination with a wall having a window opening and a sill memberat the Leaaeea lower end of the openingand a window sash in the openinghaving a lower bar with a downwardly opening channel, of means forsecuring the sash in place including a clip having an upwardly extendingportion within the Adownwardly opening channel, and longitudinallyspaced depending tongues embracing the slll member.

` 6. The combination with a wall yhaving a window opening and a windowsash in the openin of a stool extending into the'opening an beneath thesash and provided with a grill ortion intermediate its inner and outer eges, and an anchoring clip at the inner side of the wall having aportionengagino` the stool at its inner edge to hold the same fromupward movement.

7. The combination with a wall having a Window opening and a framemember in the opening, of a stool separate from said frame member andextending into the opening with one of its edges beneah said framemember, an anchoring clip carried by the wall, and means engaging saidclip and the opposite edge of the stool foi` holding the same againstdisplacement.

l8. The combination with'a wall having a Window opening and a framemember in the opening, of a stool extending into the opening beneath theframe member and provided with a grill portion, and an anchoring clip atthe inner side of thewall having a portion engagingthe stool at theinner edge thereof to hold the same from upward movement.

9. The combination with a Wall having a window opening and a sill memberat the lower end of the opening and a window sash in the opening havinga lower bar, of means for holding the sash in place, including a cliphaving a portion engaglng said bar and longitudinally spaced dependinganchoring portions embracing a portion of the sill.
